Mailbag: Theories & Perfection?

We’re opening the mailbag and diving into listener emails and wild Stardew thoughts - thank you for sending them in! Along the way, we chat about Stardew Valley news, unhinged theories (mermaids??), and briefly spiral into casting The Muppets: Stardew Valley the Movie???... but mostly, we’re talking about what it means to chase perfection.

From in-game goals to real-life pressure, we unpack how perfectionism shows up, how it messes with us, and whether it’s even worth it. (Spoiler: probably not.)

Content note: brief mention of ED around 44:20.
